I was sl...Poor viswan, the guy had some initiative! I was slow in believing this project could succeed, but as time went on, I knew this would work.<BR/>Jabba, you stole this post from me (had been planning to write this for some time), but no regrets- it is as good an account that can be. But still, I will give a mini-post here...<BR/><BR/>Some additional trivia to the story:<BR/><BR/>- Jiby had a guitar while lip syncing to the song. The lyrics were tongue twisters, and jiby would singalong with the song all day ...something like "nee...anupama sruthilaya madhumitha surabhila nimishamitheeyyy...". <BR/><BR/>- The costumes were limited. We had around 3-4 pairs. Red shirts with yellow pockets and huge collars. Green pants with orange back pockets, and bell bottoms that could cover an entire room! We tried fitting into our costumes, and there was this tiny costume (meant for a kid), and only jiby could fit into that. But the costume had one problem- no zipper, it had free frontal air flow :)) Initially jiby refused to wear it, but then we convinced him that it was imperative for the theme. The only solution was the guitar. We asked Jiby to hold the guitar close to his body at the level of the 'opening'. And being the sport that he is, obliged. Not a soul in the audience knew.<BR/><BR/>- Kevin was not there for any of the practice sessions, so he had no clue of the story, theme etc. He walked in the day of the programme. We told him to play a bartender. Just be natural, pour out drinks to the smugglers (shinoj and chakka) and chill out. To my surprise, during the dance, I observed kevin was having a ball of a time. he was chatting with the smugglers, pouring out drinks, drinnking some himself, and generally dancing(swaying) to the tune from behind the bar counter. The magic of the whole thing was that it all fit in perfectly to a hilarious scene.<BR/><BR/>- Jiby, the gun was not with me during the dance. The pants were so tight, I couldnt fit a coin into my pocket if I wanted to! There was this music sequence without lyrics, and thats when the dancers went off stage, and the smugglers enacted their drama: exchanging codes (lighting cigarettes), and exchanging briefcases covertly. I had asked harikrishnan to be at back stage with the gun. I ran around the stage, thankfully he was there, quickly tucked the gun in the back and rushed back onto stage in time for the next step (I had about 10 secs to do the whole thing!). <BR/><BR/>- Shinoj wanted to drink real liquor on stage. He said, it is one of my lifetime dreams to drink on stage, in front of the entire college, professors, faculty, principal. Strange kicks he got from such things! :-)<BR/><BR/>-Viswan settled the footloosers with a can of imported beer. The trainer was a guy called kannan, who was a helper at power gym, and thats how viswan met him.<BR/><BR/>Its a very sad thing that we dont have any snaps/videos of this great day in our lives ;-)Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341313080780036858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1127893230399106202005-09-28T00:40:00.000-07:002005-09-28T00:40:00.000-07:00Just visualizing this itself ws so damn funny!!!Me...Just visualizing this itself ws so damn funny!!!Mebbe u have some snaps of the same..<BR/>Alas I wsnt in Kerala or in college during the Jayan tharangam. i collected all possible Jayan pjs later.<BR/>Good tht u keep posting so regularly.....To paraphrase Jayan:<BR/>Ithu pole post cheyyaan pattiyirunnenkillll......... oru "postman" aakamaayirunnuuuuuu :-)))<BR/><BR/>(btw Remembering his english dialogue and adapting the same here....)<BR/><BR/>Beggersssss??? we may be labourers , poor people but wee arrr not beggerssss (maybe we are bloggers) <BR/>cheers<BR/>flaashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1127877394323701062005-09-27T20:16:00.000-07:002005-09-27T20:16:00.000-07:00LOL..it sure was fund readins this!!..pheww those ...LOL..it sure was fund readins this!!..pheww those were the days..<BR/><BR/>actually viswan didnt hit me during the dance, it was the opposite...
